Ive heard of shops trying to tune LNF's like an EFI car and running them in the low 11's for AFR. Scary thoughts.

I can only think of a couple people I'd actually trust to tune mine. Was this an actual tuner or vendor who was behind this?

not just shops. most ppl have never messed with di. and when they do, efi is all they know. i don't know the ins and outs of di. wouldn't even attempt to tune one.
